You can securely connect GitHub Actions to Google Cloud using the Google GitHub Action called `auth`. It supports two main ways: the recommended Workload Identity Federation (WIF), which uses short-lived tokens and avoids long-lived service account keys, and the older Service Account Key JSON method. WIF improves security by creating a trust link between your GitHub workflow and Google Cloud without exposing permanent credentials. To use it, you set up a Workload Identity Pool and Provider in Google Cloud, then configure your GitHub workflow to authenticate with these. This lets your workflows access Google Cloud resources safely and easily, reducing risks and simplifying credential management.

🌍 Some countries adjust their time zones by just a single minute. Venezuela, for example, once set its clocks to UTC−4:30, then shifted to UTC−4:00 for efficiency, creating rare minute-level changes. ✨

🌍 Some Antarctic research stations use New Zealand’s time zone, while others choose the time of their home country. This means clocks at the South Pole can show different times—sometimes up to 12 hours apart. ✨
